Join us this fall 2013 as Bishop Museum hosts a LEGO exhibit for the first time! LEGO® Travel Adventure opens to the public on Saturday, October 5, 2013, with an exclusive Bishop Museum member preview on Friday evening, October 4. The exhibit runs through the holidays and closes on January 5, 2014.

Developed and distributed by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, LEGO® Travel Adventure explores the excitement and fun of travel through LEGO displays and activities. Enter the exhibit through a LEGO archway and dream up the
answer to these key questions: Wherewill you go? How will you get there? What will you build?

Of course, you need a way to travel first. Start off your LEGO exhibit experience with a large LEGO “T.A.V” (Travel Adventure Vehicle). Families can work together to build the vehicle out of large LEGO bricks.

No travel is impossible if you have the right vehicle! The next area of the exhibit includes various LEGO vehicles against real photo landscapes of Paris, Cape Canaveral, San Francisco, and Hawai‘i.

Explore great moments in travel history as well, as dioramas in LEGO bricks bring to life the first airplane flight at Kitty Hawk, Henry Ford’s automobile factory, an ocean liner leaving New York, and the driving of the Golden Spike in the first U.S. transcontinental railroad.

In the Systems Build area, kids can experiment with making their own travel creations out of LEGO and Duplo blocks. They can even have their photo taken with their creations and email the image to friends and family!
